Goodell says he’ll be establishing a “Conduct Committee” to review new rules and ensure best practices and he could be giving up some power as he attempts to “get it right.”
One of the many questions asked of the him was if he ever considered stepping down and resigning in the wake of his mishandling of the Ray Rice suspension. Goodell said he’s getting his house in order and has a job to do, but ESPN NFL analyst and former NFL player, Tedy Bruschi, thinks it is time Goodell steps down.
Bruschi spoke on ESPN2 and called for Goodell to walk away in the best interest of the league.
"“As long as Roger Goodell is leading the NFL and he’s the face behind the shield, you will have the same emotions you had today watching this press conference. Listening to him speak in circles, wondering ‘Man what is this guy talking about?’So as you continue and move forward and Roger Goodell is the commissioner, you will continue to feel that way every time you see him. In my personal opinion, being a former player that spent 13 years in this league trying to do the right thing, I want a new commissioner to lead my league. I want a new commissioner to go out there and say the right things and be that leader because right now Roger Goodell is not that and I don’t think he can ever be that.Roger Goodell needs to step down and move on. The big reset needs to be pushed on the entire NFL right now and it starts by Roger Goodell stepping down.”"
Do you agree with Bruschi that Goodell should step down in the best interest of the league? Goodell thinks he should have no reason to worry about losing his job because he’s acknowledged his mistake.
